Stochastic Modelling and Analysis of Dynamic Plasma Reflection
نویسنده
چکیده
Keyhole arc welding is a cost-effective process to weld thick materials. To successfully apply this process, the state of the keyhole must be accurately detected and used in feedback control. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of the plasma reflection is described using the reflection arc angle (RAA). It is found that the RAA series can be considered an autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) process. The parameters of the ARMA are recursively estimated using the extended least squares algorithm. It is found that the recursive estimates of the model parameters change as the state of the keyhole changes. A discriminator has been proposed to determine the state of the keyhole based on the recursive estimates of the model parameters. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Modelling and Decision-making on Deteriorating Production Systems using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach
This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...
متن کاملStochastic modelling of plasma reflection during keyhole arc welding
Keyhole arc welding (KAW), including the keyhole double-sided arc welding process being developed at the University of Kentucky and keyhole plasma arc welding, can achieve much deeper narrower penetration than all other arc welding processes. If it could be controlled such that the heat input and weld pool are minimized while at the same time the desired full penetration is guaranteed, it could...
متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...

Background: Angiogenesis initiated by cancerous cells is the process by which new blood vessels are formed to enhance oxygenation and growth of tumor. Objective: In this paper, we present a new multiscale mathematical model for the formation of a vascular network in tumor angiogenesis process. Methods: Our model couples an improved sprout spacing model as a stochastic mathematical model of spro...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Dynamic and Static Facility Layouts in a Stochastic Environment
In this paper, to cope with the stochastic dynamic (or multi-period) problem, two new quadratic assignment-based mathematical models corresponding to the dynamic and static approaches are developed. The product demands are presumed to be dependent uncertain variables with normal distribution having known expectation, variance, and covariance that change from one period to the next one, randomly...
